After overspending on my wardrobe last year, I decided to track my spending. At the beginning of each month, I will review and reflect on the things I bought in the previous month. I hope the insights I gain from doing this will help me accomplish three goals: 1) avoid overspending, 2) shop smarter (quality not quantity), and 3) have a functional closet full of pieces I love to wear.

Two weekends ago, Vadim and I spent a long weekend in Montreal with our friends. We rented a car and turned it into a road trip up north. This was our first time driving there. It was also the first time I realized that New York is HUGE. We were basically in New York 99% of the time during our 6.5 hr drive. Who knew? I definitely didn’t.

Anyway, we rented an airbnb, ate at two restaurants notorious for hard to come by reservations, and made a bunch of memories that will probably make me laugh till I pee when I think about them in old age.

If you’re curious about how much we spent on our five day adventure, keep reading for all the details you didn’t ask for. View Post

Last week I shared my money diary for the whole week. This week I thought it would be interesting to see how much Vadim and I spend over the weekend, as a couple. We get groceries, go to brunch, and spend some money at a farmers market. If you’re curious to see how it went down, keep on reading. View Post

One of my favorite things to read is Refinery29’s Money Diaries series. And when my friend, Luxe started recapping her weekend spending, I felt even more inspired to get in on the action. Maybe I’m living vicariously through people’s purchases, or simply trying to seek pearls of wisdom to save myself a few bucks. Either way, the ways in which people spend and save fascinate me. And now that I am employed and can spend money (responsibly), I can finally share my first ever money diaries post. I have been waiting so long for this very moment. So let’s get right into it.
